- Mr. Stubbs is invited to a little supper given by a few of his business acquaintances, and during the evening they present him with a fountain pen. His troubles commence the next morning when he attempts to fill it, for he spills ink over himself, his stenographer and the office in general. When a client enters with an important document, requiring his signature the pen misbehaves again and spatters the document and disturbing Stubbs to such an extent that he throws the pen out the window. The pen strikes a street peddler, who reads the name "J. Stubbs," engraved on the side of the pen, and promptly returns it to Stubbs, not forgetting to claim a reward. After spoiling several vests and a number of good cigars, Stubbs resolves to get rid of the pen forever. He ties it up in a handkerchief along with a brick and drops it in the river. A fisherman hauls it ashore in his net and sells it to a jeweler. Mrs. Stubbs, while looking for a suitable birthday gift for hubby, decides upon a fountain pen and by chance selects one of the same pattern as the one Stubbs threw away and instructs the jeweler, who has just purchased the "Stubbs" pen from the fisherman, to engrave "J. Stubbs" on the name plate. The jeweler controls himself, however, and Mrs. Stubbs presents hubby with the pen he took such pains to lose and wonders at his sudden collapse.—Moving Picture World synopsis
